Venturi Studien & Prototypen

The first solar-electric hybrid vehicle. Capable of driving with very little energy and recharging using solar energy even while on the move, Astrolab is the first high-performance electric-solar hybrid vehicle. Unveiled at the 2006 Paris Motor Show, this unique concept zero-emissions vehicle does not need constant sunlight exposure to keep moving. It is able to draw on a reserve of stored energy, whether from the sun or the power network.

In 2006, Venturi unveiled the first autonomous urban vehicle in automotive history. Much more than just a city car, Eclectic is a truly renewable energy production and storage plant, for both solar and wind power. With its on-board charger, Eclectic can be recharged from any point on the power network.
